Btrfs is a great filesystem for proxmox in raid 1. Stop telling people not to use it (lemmy.zip)

Btrfs gets a bad rap sometimes but I have been using it for years and it works very well. It is able to take failing hardware and power outages and still has good performance.

The only file-system that is somewhat comparable to btrfs is OpenZFS. Xfs isn't.

Yeah, zfs is what I meant. Or yfs, as in "Y-use anything but btr-FS?"

Seems like zfs or btrfs?
At least I usually read about storage file system usually being ZFS by default.

ZFS has been around for a long time. Rock solid w RAID. See FreeNAS. ZFS was orig on BSD but AFAIK got ported to Linux a while back.

It now TrueNAS and both freebsd and Linux use the same implementation (openzfs)
